Halloween Continues

Another great part of being a grown up is that Halloween can last for a whole month! As promised, here are pictures from my second Halloween. I was Jackie O, and my friends Heath and Neil were JFK and Marilyn Monroe (or Morning-After-Marilyn as we called him) respectively. Not as many pictures were taken for this one as I did not have a disposable camera (which was amazing) in my fanny pack (more amazing) like the first time.


Marilyn, JFK, and Jackie O.




Aren't we just a precious bunch?








Jackie O and Marilyn: Behind the Scenes.







This may be my favorite of the night. Cameras missed the part where I found Bam Bam's club and came after Marilyn.







1960s ladies.



Have I mentioned that I've decided to wear elbow length gloves on a regular basis?





The night before we saw Rocky Horror Picture Show.



They put me in the dress, but I was already wearing the tights and boots. I didn't know to dress up. It's kind of scary thinking I just dress like this...





And because I was a Rocky Horror Virgin, I had to participate in a contest.


I won't tell you what I did in front of a theater full of people, we want to keep this PG.






Well, all! I hope you had as much fun as I did. Now onto Thanksgiving. One of the best parts of transitioning into a grown-up as opposed to actually being one is that everyone wants to cook at turkey at some point this month. Yum!

Transitioning Into Grown-Updom: Loving the Life I Have

I've been reading through my past posts. One such post (which you can find here) discusses my hate of Arlen Spector and has a list of things I'd like to do instead of becoming and adult. Now that I am an adult, I thought I'd make a list of things I'd rather be doing than being an adult. The grass is always greener on the otherside of the...college degree... Then I rethought and decided to make a list of things I like about being an adult. I need to be a little more positive.

As a side note, I currently work for a company that has been hired by Pat Toomey, the man who will either run against Spector or Sestak (the person in a primary against Spector).

Things I like about being an adult:
10. Taylor Lautner has to turn 18 sometime.
9. On Halloween instead of trick-or-treating, you just get to Caroline it up!
8. Talking about the current elections or the 2010 elections is just normal conversation; I don't sound pretentious.
7. I have a job that allows me to wear high heels everyday. If I want.
6. Trivia nights.
5. I can see Harry Potter at midnight without asking my mom. Now I just have to ask my significant other.
4. No homework.
3. Vodka Tonic.
2. Starting my own board game collection (weirdly exciting).
1. A paycheck.

Fabulous. Oh lord. I am still at work for three hours. It is election day. Tonight will hopefully be a good night for the GOP. This McDonnell race looks really promising, which is great considering the last 2 governors of VA were Dems. Creigh Deeds is just an awful candidate--it worked out for us. NY-23 should go to the GOP, as well, but we're going to have trouble with such a right wing conservative in that seat. Moderate is not the devil, people. Moderate is a good thing in a lot of places. There are others, but I won't go on a political rant.

I love you, friends! Come visit your DC!
